'Alison Saar: Of Aether and Earthe' is a new release this week!

Featured spread is from Alison Saar: Of Aether and Earthe, published to accompany an upcoming exhibition at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College. The title Of Aether and Earthe suggests transformation of elemental properties, Rebecca McGrew writes, "with aether representing the spiritual and non-material, and earthe—in the archaic spelling—suggesting a rootedness in physical materials. The words have esoteric, alchemical connotations that stem from ancient and medieval science. Aether represented the fifth element—a cosmic essence that exists in and around the other elements of earth, water, air and fire. Aether was thought to be the source of the philosopher's stone, and scientists believed it was the material through which light moved."
